We support registered nurses (RNs), advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), and nurse faculty by paying up to 85% of their unpaid nursing education debt.
Am I eligible for loan repayment?
Review the following NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program requirements to find out.
I am a:
licensed registered nurse;
advanced practice registered nurse, such as a nurse practitioner; or
nurse faculty member with qualifying nursing debt.
I received my nursing education from:
an accredited school of nursing located in a U.S. state or territory.
I work full-time in:
an eligible Critical Shortage Facility in a high need area (for RNs, APNs),
an accredited school of nursing (for nurse faculty).
We give funding preference depending on your financial need.
Why should I apply for the NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program?
Too many Americans—particularly in underserved areas—go without checkups, preventive screenings, vaccines, and other care, simply because there are not enough health care professionals to provide care and treatment in their communities. The NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program enables you to fulfill your passion to care for underserved people in some of the neediest communities across the country.
If you apply and are accepted to the program, we will pay for 60% of your unpaid nursing education debt over two years, with an option to extend to a third year for an additional 25% of the original balance.
In exchange, you work for a minimum of two years in one of the thousands of approved sites across the country, including hospitals, clinics, and other facilities.
How do I apply?
The application cycle for the 2017 NURSE Corps Loan Repayment Program is closed. Sign up to be notified when the next application cycle opens.
What should I do before I apply?
Before you apply, read the annually updated Application and Program Guidance (PDF - 593 KB). Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the NURSE Corps contract. It outlines the requirement for fulfilling your minimum two years of service at an eligible Critical Shortage Facility.
What is a Critical Shortage Facility?
To receive loan repayment as a registered or advance practice registered nurse, you must work full-time at a Critical Shortage Facility (CSF). A CSF is a public or private nonprofit health care facility located in, designated as, or serving a Health Professional Service Area – an area with shortages of primary care or mental health professionals.
Review the Application and Program Guidance (PDF - 593 KB) for a complete list of eligible facilities.
What is an Eligible School of Nursing?
To receive loan repayment as a nurse faculty member, you must teach full-time in an eligible public or private nonprofit school of nursing. We consider a school of nursing to be eligible if it is accredited by a national nursing accrediting agency or a state agency recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education – view a list of these agencies.
